Alas, it has been sitting in our cedar chest ever since our return as I could never find a store over here that sold Toddler size duvet covers!
With the weather getting colder, that little quilt just isn't cutting it anymore...
Then the light bulb went off...Silly Mommy, I can SEW one...duh!

Now, I made all of the measurements in my tutorials to fit that Pottery Barn toddler size comforter and toddler size pillow, but of course you can adjust them to suit your own needs!
Didn't over register at Pottery Barn for your baby shower, or do a stint in Europe like I did, and happen to have one of these sitting around like I did? They are hard to come by here in America!!!
No worries, I can show you how to make a couple of your own comforters by converting a simple twin into 2 toddler size comforters! Click HERE for that tutorial.
Need a tutorial for a fitted sheet to match all of your new bedding? I found a great one on-line HERE.
But the best part about this Toddler bedding tutorial mayhem?
I made EXTRA!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! Love how this can be, literally, made to order!! Think of all the possibilities AND all the beautifully coordinated kids rooms this will inspire people to create!!
ReplyDeleteI love it. You were able to make what you wanted and it is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Simply gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! Don't you love when you realize you can sew something vs buying it??
ReplyDeleteWow, so great! I wish I could make one for my D.
ReplyDeleteohhh. so great...came over to your blog and going to follow..thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have to questions, first what type of fabric do you recommend for the duvet cover? Second if I was to use two different fabrics would I just spilt the yardage in half? Also I love your blog, this post will be a big help in upgrading my toddlers room.
ReplyDeleteHi Modern Momma -
ReplyDeleteYou can use almost any fabric for your duvet cover! For my kids, I personally like 100% cotton. But that is just a personal preference.
If you want to use 2 different fabrics, as in 1 fabric for the front and 1 fabric for the back, then simply cut:
* Cut (1) 38” x 52” rectangle of fabric from your first fabric
* Cut (1) 38” x 55” rectangle of fabric from your second fabric
Hope this helps!
Hi! Darling idea and I can't wait to get started! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteQuestion for you...
The PBK comforter measures 36x50. Are you sewing a 1/4 inch seam, 1/2 inch? (Perhaps I missed this on the tutorial?) This would leave a little bit of extra room for the comforter, right? The PBK duvets measure the same. What is the finished size of yours?
Thanks again for your help and for sharing your talent!
Best,
Michelle
Hi Michelle, I always say 1/2" - but usually end up actually doing a 1/4". I think a little extra room would be ideal - so would probably refer to the 1/4". This gives a finished duvet of just about 37.5" x 51.25".
